Morph, this method is known as Scary Sharp, many many sites that describe how to do it. It works very well.

I was on a straight razor site the other day and the forum had several "how to's"!
I have some 3m micro paper,3000 and 6000 grit that I used to use to finish solidsurface countertops like Avonite or Corion. I also have a small block plane that needs attention so I may just give it a try.
Something no one mentioned is a strop,I use one the remove the wire edge on my carving knives. If I strop my chiefs knife you can shave with it!
I own a set of Lagostina knives,their forged line of blades are pretty good for the price,you can go crazy and get Damascus steel blades but since I'm not a chef I cant see spending close to 2 grand on a knife set.
I looked ay the Forschners and it seems they are importers and dont actually make the knives.When I saw the pic I thought it looked like my Old Hickory knives!
